Welcome to the October Integration newsletter, and thank you very much for all your feedback and comments on the last edition. We hope we’ve covered some of the main topics you told us you’d like to hear about in this issue including details on how you can give your views on our draft strategic plan.
Welcome to the second Integration newsletter, and thank you very much for all your feedback and comments on issue 1. One of the main things that came up was about the use of terms like ‘acute’ and ‘primary care’ without defining them. So let’s put that right…primary care refers to the services provided by health professionals in either clinics or practices, or sometimes in a patient’s home. Secondary, sometimes called ‘acute’, care is mainly hospital-based health care provision, including emergency care (through Accident & Emergency) to non-emergency treatment, usually through outpatient departments or elective treatment.

If you have any suggestions for how we can improve further, please tell us.
